About St. Catherine Labouré School

Welcome to St. Catherine Labouré School! We have been offering a high quality Catholic education to the Glenview area for more than 50 years.

My name is John Blumenshine, and I am the new Principal at St. Catherine Laboure School in Glenview. I am writing to introduce myself and share my excitement about leading the St. Catherine Laboure community.

I have been a teacher for over 20 years, and a teacher at SCL for the last 6. I believe that all students deserve a high-quality education that prepares them for success in secondary education and beyond. I am committed to working with the faculty, staff, parents, and students at St. Catherine Laboure to create a school that is both academically rigorous and supportive.

I am looking forward to getting to know the St. Catherine Laboure community and working together to make it an even better place for all students.

If you are a current SCL family, I remind you that my door is always open. If you are considering joining our SCL family, please feel free to stop by anytime or call (847) 724-2240. We would be happy to show you all that makes our school a wonderful place to be.​
